Reply #76: Spread the truth

[Time for change]

A major problem with our country is that too many Americans are woefully ignorant of the forces that determine events in their world. That is partly the fault of our corporate news media, which seeks to keep them misinformed, but is also our own faults too.

The thing is that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them. We have the truth on our side, and we also have the numbers. I think that the Internet is serving a purpose of helping to keep Americans much more informed than we used to be. Maybe that will create a positive feedback loop that will accelerate our knowledge accumulation.

Anyhow, I believe that the key is an informed public. They could not get away with this kind of stuff if we were informed enough. That's what our Founding Fathers believed too, which is why they put so many safeguards into our Constitution with the purpose of ensuring our right to keep ourselves informed.

In saying that, I certainly don't claim to have a full grasp on the truth, with regard to a multitude of issues, including the issues discussed in this post. But I do believe that I have my eyes open, and I have a strong desire to learn more of the truth.
